Scientists at Dr. Rajendra Prasad Central Agricultural University, Pusa, have successfully cultivated the high-value foreign fruit Avocado (Butter Fruit) in the plains of Bihar. In an experiment started in September 2023, 2.5-year-old plants yielded fruits weighing between 750-950 grams. By inter-planting Arka Supreme and Arka Ravi varieties, researchers overcame pollination issues, while raised-bed techniques solved waterlogging challenges. With market prices ranging from ₹400 to ₹1500 per kg, this breakthrough offers a lucrative alternative for farmers and could reduce India's import dependency.
